Chapter 33: The Concept of a Continental Supergroup

"Well said!"

In front of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Heaven Micro Grade students were strewn all over the ground; Huo Wu walked past them with a swagger, causing the group to not dare make a sound.

Behind her, a middle-aged man also dressed in fire-red robes walked over with a bitter smile.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong called out quite abruptly, though it was unclear if she had been provoked by Huo Wu's overbearing demeanor.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Qin Jian tapped her little head with annoyance.

"She wasn't talking about you, hee hee..."

Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue, took hold of Qin Jian's left hand, and said, "Brother Jian is the most charming!"

"Uh..."

Ning Fengzhi, Jian Douluo, and Xue Qinghe all shuddered at the same time, goosebumps even rising on their skin.

Just then, Huo Wu was walking past them; hearing Ning Rongrong's words, she couldn't help but turn her head to look.

The youth's exquisite and handsome appearance made her eyes brighten slightly, but her own pride still made her lift her head and say disdainfully, "He's the same!"

"Hey! You aren't allowed to say that!"

Ning Rongrong could tease Qin Jian whenever she pleased, but she would not allow others to speak ill of him.

With that, she stepped forward immediately.

Her hands-on-hips posture made Ning Fengzhi unable to help but pat his forehead: "I feel like my little witch is back again..."

"Why shouldn't I be allowed to say it!"

Huo Wu was not intimidated at all.

"Those pieces of trash can't be mentioned in the same breath as Brother Jian."

Ning Rongrong pointed at Xue Beng and the others lying on the ground, dealing another critical blow.

"Oh?"

Huo Wu crossed her arms, walked up to Qin Jian, tilted her proud head, and said, "How about we have a spar too?"

Before Qin Jian could speak, Ning Rongrong darted over to block in front of him, saying, "You're older than us and your soul power is 10 levels higher; only a fool would spar with you!"

"You!"

Huo Wu's expression changed, and she was about to get angry, but was suddenly pulled back by someone.

She looked back and frowned, saying, "Teacher, why are you holding me back?"

But her teacher did not answer her; instead, he walked straight up to Ning Fengzhi, bowed slightly, and said, "Ning Sect Master, Jian Douluo, Huo Wu did not mean to offend your sect, please do not take offense."

His words caused the surrounding people to be slightly startled, and only then did they notice Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo behind Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong.

"I didn't expect it to be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."

"Indeed, then what are the identities of this youth and young girl?"

"Did you hear about the royal etiquette performance a few days ago? Could they be Jian Douluo's disciple Qin Jian and Ning Sect Master's daughter, Ning Rongrong?"

"……"

The crowd discussed it fervently.

Hearing the voices of the others, Huo Wu was also stunned.

She then cast a curious gaze toward the two of them: "Are you two the Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong who have become so famous in Tiandou Imperial City these past few days?"

Seeing that Huo Wu still had a carefree attitude, the teacher from Blazing Academy couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Huo Wu's temperament is just like this, please don't mind it."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head casually and smiled: "It is fine, youth is always like this."

"Huo Wu, go apologize," the teacher said, patting Huo Wu on the shoulder.

Who knew that Huo Wu wouldn't buy it at all: "I didn't say anything wrong, why should I apologize!"

"Unless he can beat me in a soul duel."

She looked at Qin Jian and added another sentence.

"Huo Wu, his level is much lower than yours..."

Seeing her teacher's expression turn serious, Huo Wu thought for a moment and said, "He's also here to participate in the Soul Hunting, right? Isn't there a Mimicry Soul Hunting ranking tomorrow? Let's decide the winner with that; if I lose, I'll apologize to him!"

"Is Mimicry Soul Hunting independent of level?" Qin Jian asked.

Huo Wu nodded and said, "Mimicry Soul Hunting chooses the level of Soul Beast to hunt based on our own soul power; everyone is at a difficulty of level nine. We'll see who reaches a higher level, and naturally, that person is the stronger one. What do you think?"

Qin Jian looked at the indignant Ning Rongrong beside him and said, "Then it's a deal."

The inexplicable farce finally came to an end as everyone dispersed.

"Brother Jian, did I cause trouble for you?"

Ning Rongrong was a bit worried because of the look Qin Jian had just given her.

"It's alright..."

Qin Jian held her hand and said, "I was already planning to take you into the Special Grade Area of the Soul Hunting Ground; we have to take first place in tomorrow's Mimicry Soul Hunting."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong blinked her large eyes, then grabbed his left hand and leaned against him: "I knew you were the best!"

Xue Qinghe suddenly stepped forward and said, "Little Brother Qin, it's not that I want to discourage you, but all the students who came this time are the top students from their respective academies. There are rumors that they are all reserve seeds for the Elite Tournament of All-Continent Soul Masters in a few years..."

She patted Qin Jian on the shoulder and said, "It won't be easy to get first place among them."

"Oh..."

Qin Jian moved away from under her hand without a trace and pulled Ning Rongrong a few steps away.

Then, the two of them walked into the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy in tacit agreement...

Xue Qinghe: "……"

"Eh? That is..."

Just then, Qin Jian suddenly saw two more figures walking in from the entrance; at a glance, they looked like a pair of sisters wearing blue short skirts.

"The color and style of this clothing..."

Before Qin Jian could extract any useful information from his memories of ten thousand years ago, Xue Qinghe leaned in again: "That is Tianshui Academy; the taller ones should be the teachers, and the shorter one is Shui Bing'er."

How does this person always manage to appear beside me without a sound...

Qin Jian was pulled away a few steps by Ning Rongrong again.

Xue Qinghe smiled, not minding, and simply pointed at the girl with shoulder-length hair over there, saying: "Shui Bing'er, as far as I know, her martial soul is the top-tier Beast Spirit Ice Phoenix, which is a Beast Spirit as powerful as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

"Shui Bing'er..."

Qin Jian looked over, but felt something was not quite right.

Is this girl, who follows closely behind her teacher and looks so cautious, really the future Captain of the Tianshui Girl Group who possesses such a mature, commanding aura?

Besides, when she officially appears, she doesn't have shoulder-length hair, but has cut a portion of it off...

"With these looks... why be a Spirit Master..."

Qin Jian looked at the two who resembled sisters and muttered: "If there's a chance, I must form a girl group for them. By then, training them in a few songs and dances from my past life in South Korea, wouldn't it be easy to become the top group on the Dalu..."

"Brother Jian!"

Just then, Ning Rongrong's voice interrupted Qin Jian's train of thought.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Jian, having snapped back to reality, was a bit puzzled.

Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and pouted: "You look like you're about to drool, are they really that pretty?!"

Naturally, Qin Jian would not say they were truly pretty at this moment; he shook his head repeatedly, grabbed Ning Rongrong's small hand, and said: "Although they look decent, they are far inferior to my Rongrong!"

"Really?"

"Of course..."

"......"

The corners of Xue Qinghe's mouth twitched, and in the end, she sighed.

She discovered that Qin Jian was truly too gifted at coaxing girls...
